That may be. Again, the article says "Chicago", "Kent State", etc. This is a bit tougher since this protest is in major cities around the world. I have no doubts that some will turn ugly. Most, I certainly hope, will not. Legitimately dangerous activities should be curtailed and punished. "Protest" should not.

I agree with you. But these things can start to get out of hand.

What that "article" doesn't mention is that, in many of those cases, the "dead" were the protesters, killed by the state. There is a difference between a riot, where the participants are the violent, and a protest where violence is turned against those protesting.

And "terrorists"? Really? You were repeatedly shot at and mortared in foreign countries and now these park fucking pussies you despise are "terrorists"? C'mon. You should know the difference.

i didn't say they were. I said it's the worst thing you can call them. Just as i don't think the tea party is/are racist, but it is the worst charge you can label against them. But to be more to the point, no i don't think the Occupiers are terrorist. I do however most of them could use a good billy club and kick in the ass. Again, those who protest and trespass, not those who watch from afar.

Actually, what you said was: The worst you could call the Occupiers are terrorists, because they harm people and destroy property to get their message across.

So yeah, in essence you did attempt to label protestors as terrorists. Nice try at spinning though. And why exactly should the protests get a billy club or kick in the ass? And why exactly do you have such anger towards them? You keep saying how the protestors are full of anger. Well DUH, isn't that exactly why protests start, because people are angry about something? So what exactly are you so angry angry about, are the protestors hurting you, your family, friends, are they setting fire to your property & pissing on it? For whatever reason, these protestors have really pushed your buttons. It's kind of amusing to see.

If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire. The claims that the ultra-rich 1% make for themselves – that they are possessed of unique intelligence or creativity or drive – are examples of the self-attribution fallacy. This means crediting yourself with outcomes for which you weren't responsible. Many of those who are rich today got there because they were able to capture certain jobs. This capture owes less to talent and intelligence than to a combination of the ruthless exploitation of others and accidents of birth, as such jobs are taken disproportionately by people born in certain places and into certain classes....

Wow. Twenty-five pages about OWS. That's hilarious to me. OWS has accomplished more here on this message board than they ever will in the real world. Of course, I support the rights of anyone who wants to protest anything. I just wish they would realize getting your shit together before a protest and keeping your shit together during a protest tends to make a protest more effective. I think OWS should protest OWS for being ineffectual. People in the U.S. don't know how to protest because even the most unfortunate among us are far fatter and happier than those in other countries around the world. Other protesters surround government buildings and still know what it means to fight oppression and corruption with militancy. I went down to the mall by my parents' house last week and saw our OWS contingent. I swear I laughed so hard I almost pissed in my pants. These hapless fuckers are camped out by the P.F. Chang's which is at least ten miles from any government building where the actual people who make laws and have the power to effectuate change are located. OWS will not change anything in this country in any meaningful way. If anything, OWS will prove to the government once and for all that they can screw over the American people with impunity.

I thought we all knew what the protests were about by this point. They don't seem that disorganized to me anymore.
